<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Alert about possible legislation
against waterskiers in Minnesota and how you can help</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV> Dear Water Ski Enthusiast:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Once again the freedom we enjoy as water skiers in the State of Minnesota
is being challenged by the Minnesota Lakes Association (MLA), and potentially
the Minnesota Legislature.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The MLA is currently distributing a survey soliciting opinions and
comments regarding, among other things, a proposal to create a no wake zone
within 150 feet of a shoreline on every lake in Minnesota, regardless of it's
size. <STRONG>That would include your lake (and possibly your private, man
made lake).</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV>As you may guess, this would be disastrous for all of us.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am asking each of you, your family, and your friends to take a few
minutes of your time and fill the survey out. Tell them how you really feel.
If enough of us respond against their proposals they may not present them to
the legislature for a vote this upcoming session.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> But we have to respond soon. If the MLA only hears from people
who are in favor of the 150 foot no wake zone and other restrictive
legislation they will probably present it to the legislature and lobby hard
for it's passage.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A call to your local State Representative and Senator would help as well.
They want to hear from you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We've asked for your help in the past on these restrictive lake proposals
and we'll be asking for your continued help in the future. The problem will
not go away. So far they've heard our collective voices telling them we do not
want restrictive legislation against water skiers. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please take the time to read the attachments from Jim Olson, our
Minnesota Water Ski Association Legislative Committee Chair and then
send the attached survey to the MLA in Brainerd so we can all continue
to enjoy our great sport of water skiing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Paul Chapin</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>President</DIV>
<DIV>Minnesota Water Ski Association</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> PS Feel free to forward this email to anyone who you think may be
willing to help. THX</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></SPAN>
